Problem: inetd executes /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env with
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd as ARGV[0] and no ARGV[1]. tcp-env expects the
name of the program to run as ARGV[1].

Solution: insert an additional "tcp-env" after /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
so that the line reads:
... qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

This is exactly what is in the INSTALL file btw.

Stefan
